The point remains the same. Again, I think it is probably just a conincidence that the thread moved from killing people to killing animals and implies nothing about the author.

If a person is trying to kill you I think that is justification to retaliate. Whether you kill them in the process, who knows? -----Original Message----- From: Haggerty, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 2:02 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat No, I am just a guy reading a list and seeing a disturbing pattern in some of the posts. There is a lot of talk about shooting people and shooting animals and attempts at justifying each by circumstance. It sounds a lot like Uncle Jimbo and Ned from South Park - "Look Out He's Coming Right for Ya'!" Perhaps it is just an unfortunate coincidence and there is really no relationship between the two subjects.

M -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Schmidt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 2:54 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat Well let me see what do you do when you hunt a deer. Shoot it and kill it and gut it. What do I do when I filet a fish, I knock it unconscious and slice the filet off. There is a big difference here. One is done with malice the other is not. That's the difference. I am not trying to be cruel to these animals, I am humane and take no pleasure in it. No if I threw gasoline on the animal while it was in the cage, lit it on fire and laughed, then I might fit their profile. I am done arguing this with you as you just don't seem to get where I am coming from. -----Original Message----- From: Haggerty, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 1:46 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat You just (say you) blow their brains out. Big difference. Stop telling me what I do and do not understand. It is very offensive having someone tell you their understanding of somebody else's point is superior to your own. M -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Schmidt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 2:42 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat Ok. I read the study. They are talking about Animal Cruelty not human removal of pests. Here is one quote from the report: In one American study, 118 out of 135 criminals, including robbers and rapists, admitted that when they were children, they had burned, hanged and stabbed domestic animals. Funny I don't do any of that and condone those types of actions, but by your logic I am in the same league as all these people. What about Fishers, Hunters, Vets who put animals to sleep. Plain and simple, you are misconstruing what their point is here. There is a difference between being intentionally cruel to animals and the situations I mentioned above. One obviously leads to violence in other situations the others don't. Otherwise there would be a lot of hunters and fisherman and anyone who kills an animal for reason other than being cruel serving time for a violent crime. -----Original Message----- From: Haggerty, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 1:32 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat The 'study' (as you called it) I am referring to is at: http://www.cfhs.ca/Programs/HumaneEducation/ViolenceLink/ccbackgrounder4 htm I live in Maryland, and we have large herds of feral cats. It is virtually impossible to tell the difference between wild ones and domestic ones.

I hope you don't honestly consider removing a vicious animal that is causing harm to other animals abuse. -----Original Message----- From: Haggerty, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 1:19 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat It is not that I cannot understand your justification, it is just that this distinction you came up with is at odds with the one used by criminal profilers with the FBI and Scotland Yard who spend their time researching these kinds of people. Animal abusers also often suffer from low self-esteem, a history of family abuse, frustration and an inability to manage anger. M -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Schmidt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 2:13 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat Ok...here is my distinction. Beating the cat for doing something wrong = beating your wife because she did something to piss you off. Removing a cat or dog that is sickly and causing harm to other animals is not the same. One is done maliciously the other is done out of necessity. Do you see the distinction between abusing my dog because it wet on the carpet and removing a wild dog that is knocking over your rabbit cages and eating the rabbits you are raising for show. I sure do. I don't know how you can't see the distinction between the two. -----Original Message----- From: Haggerty, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 1:03 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat I am unclear on how you make that distinction provided you are reading this quote without any context for understanding it. It would appear your distinction is artificial. M -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Schmidt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 2:02 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat However, I don't think that violence was in the same context. I think they are talking about the Dog owner who beats his dog. Or the person who hits his cat, light it on fire whatever. That violence is a different type of violence. -----Original Message----- From: Haggerty, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 12:56 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat No one said anything about enjoyment, just about violence towards. M -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Schmidt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 1:56 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat I am not intentionally harming the animal for fun or because I want to, I am ridding the farm of a nuisance. Now, if I was out kicking my dog for no good reason than that might apply. I don't intentionally go around harming animals nor do I derive any pleasure from taking their life. -----Original Message----- From: Haggerty, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 12:49 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat Just a reminder for my friend Kevin: FBI and Scotland Yard recognize that violence towards animals is one of five key indicators of a person who will commit violent acts against people. A past history of violence is a predictor of future aggression.
